Touches You

hyped garbage

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Fine almost-psychedelic-oriented comedy about romance, struggles in art work and just loosing your mind (and finding it back). The meaning of the word tells it all. Dorff offers a great performance. U2's performances in the movie are in the right spots and at the right time. Very experimental yet great results. Entropy is a must for people who like the first stages of Tarantino, the visual experimentation of Olver Stone and the hilarity of Woody Allen (strange but rather great mix!).I find it mind blowing that the plot begins with the narrator in an awful shape explaining the story and then gets to meet his own character and the movie goes on! The ending leaves you with a melancholic feeling because all us who are still attached to this world have experienced the "Entropy" after an intense experience what ever it was. See you in the journey to forever!

What a great film... I honestly think this film, like many others about making movies, is misunderstood, and more importantly unappreciated by the non-film biz audience. This one in particular because it really is more about what it's like to be a young, up and coming director, than about making a movie.I can personally relate to a lot of this film, which is probably why I love it so much.In all honesty, though I really like the somewhat exaggerated tone and style of the piece, it is probably the most accurate and honest representation of what young, first-time directors actually go through on a daily basis.From what I know of Phil Joanou, being a big fan of his work, this was a very personal and autobiographical project for him.I personally like to see films that are personal to the filmmaker because they have more of a sense of reality and passion to them. Actually going through events in your life, and then being able to make films about them is truly the greatest gift that can be given to the filmmaker...Bravo Phil, you have made a really great film. It's funny, intelligent, artistic, insightful, and just plain well done. Keep 'em coming.

This is a marvellous film. It's creative and almost refreshing, even with its not so happy ending. I've been reading other comments and some people seem a bit bothered by the film's perspective and presentation. Jake is not a character that you can fall in love with. But you can empathize. He's self-centered, egotistical, creative...i found the narration scenes wonderful, what better way to narrate a film about a film maker, than to have the character physically narrating, instead of just a voice over. I know a few film makers/students and they are alot like Jake, i felt that was portrayed quite accurately. I liked the relationship between Jake and Stella...i liked the feeling of being swept away, but being afraid at the same time. The scene with the cat was great because it showed you right there that Jake is not all there in the head, which made me laugh even more when i thought back to the comment in the beginning about models being insane, and the hint that Stella might be insane herself. I think you can relate to Jake's character if you've ever loved someone and messed up and let them go, or if you're a stella, someone who was hurt by selfish acts such as Jake's (like when he got upset because she was busy working and couldn't talk to him, when he had done the same to her). Anyway it's a great film, and the characters fit perfectly together, even Bono is wonderful and not at all out of place. Highly reccommended. I gave it a 9.

OK, so I think some people have every right to dislike this movie- it's silly, it's predictable, and it doesn't really have what I would call a hook. But I really enjoyed. Maybe because it just doesn't mirror what I expect from this genre of movie- or maybe because Stephen Dorff is more interesting every time I see another movie with him in it.. Remember "The Power Of One"? I gave this movie an 8 because I wasn't expecting to like the movie at all when I rented it, but it surprised me by not being what I expected at all (while still fulfilling every predictable aspect of a romantic comedy in the 90's)... Rent it only if you also rent a movie you know you will like.
